A collection of Merit programs selected to cover the mid-level competencies students need to know. The software is self-paced and self-monitored. Students advance as they demonstrate readiness. Scores are tracked in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print detailed reports. With most of the English language programs, students may elect to hear questions and answers spoken aloud. Designed for students in grades 5 through 8 (ages 10 and up), the program can also be used by older students. Bundle pricing offers a significant cost savings.
